From this standpoint I rejoice over the Franco- British accord, ‘The Japanese statesman cited the four-power Pacific ocean pact con- cluded at Washington a# an example of treaties affording sccurity to par- ticular regions.. He urged a gene adoption of model treaties of arbi- tration and non-aggression but em- phasized that these should take ac- count of regional needs.

He concluded with a warm tribute to the United States and France for having initiated the Kellogg-Briand pact. “an Greck Praises Kellogg Nicholas Politis, former foreign minister of Greece, also spoke of the Kellogg pact in glowing phrases. He was prominent in framing the Geneva protocol of 1924 which ac- claimed as an aggressor that na- international dispute. He said that the Kellogg pact transforms this principle into posi- tive law by making all wars of ag- gression illegal. He added: “In renouncing resort to force, the natiors have given up one of the prerogatives of sovereignty. This is more than a great innovation. It is a great revolution. “Skeptics who say this pact has only moral value are sadly mistaken. They do not give sufficient weight in favor of peace.

STRATO Faced No Worse Enemies on Fields of France ADDRESSES MEETING IN NEWBURYPORT, MASS. Massachusetts Governor Continually Interrupted By Applause as He Tells Soldiers That No Question of Religion Was Asked When They Were Ready to Lay Down Their Lives Newburyport, Mass., Sept. 7 (UP) —~Governor Alvan T. Fuller, ad- dressing the state convention of the American Legion here today, told delegates that they had “faced no worse enemies of America on the fields of I'rance than Senator Heflin and Dr. Straton.” “We must not allow qur politics to be torpedoed by prejudice,” the governor declared. “The right of every citizen to worship as he pleases and to aspire to hold any of- fice within the gift of the people must be preserved and maintained inviolate.” Governor Fuller called upon the Legion to utilize its prestige to sece that high ideals prevailed in civil Itfe and in public affairs. “You men know and remember that there was no inquiry as to a man's religion or nationality when he offered to die for his country 10 short years ago,” he continued. “We must insist once and always that there shall be no shatt of criticism levelled at him on this account when he offers to serve his country in the days of peace.” The governor was given a tre- mendous ovatiou by the 600 dele- gates and his address was repeated- ly intevrupted by appla Americihs must realize, the gov- ernor sald, the advantages which were coming about in thelr own country and in the world. “Education 1is becoming more widespread,” he sald, “A very heavy responsibility rests upon the individ- ual citizen in every self-governing modern state. He owes it to himself to take every advantage of these cducational opportunities, whether for youth or for adults, which lhis community offers, to inform himself candidly and as thoroughly as may be upon those questions which re- quire , immediate answer, and to hold himself free from bigotry, in- tolerpnce, and lust for persecution which unhappily still linger and from time to time manifest them- selves with barbaric and much more than medieval ferocity.

Early this week a Jersey Cen- | tral railroad freight car was shunt- ed onto the Ontario and Western siding here. A group of 11 small boys used it to play “railroad.” One discovered the tap on the tank car | open. One whiff of the contents and the 11 boys became business men. . There was no mistaking the alco- holic odor. At prices which would make | bootleggers shudder, the boys sold milk bottle after milk bottle of the alcohol. Twenty-five and §0 centa was the ordinary price and Old Forge drinkers laid in a supply for cocktails. Among those who purchased the « {alcohol and drank were Aleck Hy. dralick and Andrew Govel. They died a few hours later. George Machick drank & concoc- tion whose base was made up of the alcohol and went blind. Mrs. Mary Knopp was blinded partly. Then came reports from all parts of the city of strange sudden {ll- ness. Physiclans traced all the cases, numbering 155 to the alcohol. Peace officers descended to where the car had been on the siding. Strangely enough between the time of the alarm and the time the police arrived the car had been put back on the main line and taken away. There was no record here to whom and wherefrom the car had been consigned and there was little chance to trace it. Authorities be- lieved the car contained a poison- ous alcohol known as “No. 6,” which contains a great quantity of wood alcohol and that it was being ship- ped to a bootleg distillery for redis- body was found at Mt.
